Infamy Bust Uncle John
I wanted a darker vibe with this miniature so I used the notes written by Grant Morrison in the back of Arkham Asylum concerning the Mad Hatter. I painted the irises in different colours with a purple undertone to the flesh, as if the blood weren't quite a healthy red. The more I painted it the more it resembled Arsene Wenger! But with a parrot and a capuchin!
Roboute Guilliman
They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and unsullied by self-aggrandisement. They will be bright stars on the firmament of battle, Angels of Death whose shining wings bring swift annihilation to the enemies of Man. So it shall be for a thousand times for a thousand years, unto the very end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh.

How gorgeous is this model? As soon as I finished her I wanted to paint another.
This assassin fits in with the usual archetypes of the assassin - La Belle Dan Sans Merci of the 41st millennium.

This clade still feels relatively new to me. I remember when the Celexus was first released and gawking at that strange oversized helmet. Reading about the horror of the Pariah left an impression in the wider background of 40K and on myself. Like the Evesor this assassin strays away from the usual Assassin archetypes and strays into much stranger territory.

Officio Assassinorum Vindicare
Exitus Acta Probat
Those were the first Latin words I remember committing to memory. To a ten year old they sounded like words I could live by, good words to repeat in times of crisis and what not. I'm glad I grew out of it now knowing the kinds of things people do using this philosophy as a justification. But no such moral angst is engendered by the scions of house Vindicare where the deed has to justify the act.

No other Assassin quite captures the macabre, insane feeling of the 41st millennium than the Evesor. A hellstorm of biological death, the Evesor is designed to rip the heart out of enemy. I went for muted, moody blue hues to eventuate the sculpt with brass fittings to keep the dark malevolent tone.
More Assassins are inbound all this week. May the Alien, Heretic and Traitor tremble.

Cults of the Naggarothii: Assassins.
Midnight Black.
It is well known that the Elves long ago attained mastery over the winds of magic that ebb and flow through the great weave of reality. All beings of that race is in some way touched by that warping influence and all are capable to minor magics; the simple summoning of a spirit to heal a wound, an elemental to fill the sail of a boat, or the drawing of a Djinn to immolate an enemy, are common practices amongst their kind. The Death Cults of the Naggarothii make use of these minor magics, none more so than the Assassins known as the Midnight Black.
Each Cult has its own preferred method of death, some esoteric and most eccentric. The Druchii's natural competitiveness forcing each Cult to ever more ostentatious uses of their skills. The Pale Seers famously boast they can poison the surface of a mirror, so that the reflection of the viewer poisons him. The Scarlet Kiss make use of their many whore assassins to entice the chosen victim into sexual congress, and then dispatched.
The Midnight Black make use of ensorcelled cloaks that allow the assassin to bodily dissipate into shadow. The mental disciplines enabling this practice are the culminations of decades of training, forgetting the self, completely dissolving one's anima into the shade between life and death. Once this has been achieved the Assassin may move between shadows, disappearing and reappearing at will. They become living shadows with all the fanaticism and killing finesse of Naggaroth's most supreme murderers.

This is my second take on Shadowblade. This model still feels fresh and I'd love to paint this guy up again in a different colour scheme. I used the same scheme as the last one as I felt I had some unfinished buisness with this model. This model was inspired by Loler's take on Shadowblade. I nicked the base idea and the freehand - damn I wish I thought of those touches first.
